30-Second 4K Native Video

The Seedance 2.5 AI video generator produces native 30-second clips at true 4K resolution in a single pass — no stitching, no seams, no upscaling artifacts. Where most AI video generators max out at 5-15 seconds with lower resolution, Seedance 2.5 delivers broadcast-length content at final-delivery quality in one generation. Three tiers are available: 720p for drafting, 1080p for standard use, and native 4K for masters that crop cleanly to 9:16 and 1:1 without quality loss.
Seedance 2.5 multimodal reference inputs

Up to 50 Multimodal References

Feed the Seedance 2.5 AI video generator up to 50 reference inputs — images, video clips, audio files, 3D models, and style guides — in a single generation. This is a 4x jump over the previous generation's ~12 reference limit, letting you define your brand visual system once and lock in characters, products, lighting, and colors across every output. For commercial teams, this transforms the Seedance 2.5 video generator from a creative experiment into a reliable production tool.
Seedance 2.5 region-level editing

Region-Level Editing

Change one part of a video without regenerating the whole clip. Swap a product, replace a background, edit a character's expression — the rest of the frame stays intact. For localization and iteration teams, this means taking one master shot and adapting it for five different markets — different products, text overlays, or talent — in minutes instead of hours rebuilding each version from scratch.
Seedance 2.5 3D white model blockout

3D White Model Blockout

An industry first: import a rough 3D blockout scene defining camera position, composition, and blocking, and the Seedance 2.5 video generator renders a photorealistic final shot that respects every spatial constraint. ByteDance demoed this with a 100K-polygon untextured spaceship mesh that maintained proportional stability through a slow camera push-in. It closes the loop between traditional previs workflows and AI video generation.
Seedance 2.5 native audio and language support

Native Audio + 11 Languages

Audio is generated natively alongside video — ambient sound, dialogue, and background music — with accurate lip sync. Supports 11 languages: Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), English, Spanish, Indonesian, Malay, Thai, Arabic, Portuguese, Vietnamese, Japanese, and Korean. No separate audio pipeline needed.
